I agree emphatically with Paul about the importance of proper air (or "breath support"). And I've found it's one thing to talk about it and describe it, but it's more important to have a teacher who can show you exactly what it means, and help you achieve it. (And sit there and make you do it right over-and-over--Something nobody did when I was younger and learning to play.)

With better air, the embouchure to at least some degree takes care of itself, or at least is easier to achieve.
